Joao Pereira

About me

Hello and welcome to my web site

My name is João Pereira and I am from one of the most beautifull cities in Portugal, a place called Aveiro.

As some of you might know Aveiro is also know as Portuguese’s Venice due to its characteristic channels that
spread accross the city in the Ria zone. The city centre is also bubling with nightlife and modern shopping
centers. In recent years Aveiro has become the place of reference for Young and modern life with its
renovated city centre not being yet overwelmed by the traffic and overpopulation you encounter in bigger
cities. Here you can appreciate the fresh sea food everyday, being Aveiro a fishing city you have the most
characteristic fish markets in the country and this reflects in the excellent restaurants that opened recently
in the area. You can also combine the food experience with a Spa in the core of the city in the new Melia hotel.
If you are curious you can take a look in here
or just go visit one day and enjoy the city that has converted
from a fishing zone into a tourism spot very appreciated among the people who look for the best Portugal has to offer .

The University of Aveiro, a modern and cutting edge University recently
ranked among the best european universities
is located in the historic center of the city. I choosed this University to complete my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree
in Computer Science because it forms the best telecom professionals and has a 100% empregability rate in the first year
in the work market after ending the degree.

After finishing my course I have departed my home town to work in other places. I have worked in Oporto, Leeds,
Madrid and will be recently enlarging this list. As many like to say i one more child of the globalization
where the world is my country.

At this moment me and my lovely wife are working and living in Madrid enjoying the sybarite type of life the
city has to offer. We both have excellent Jobs but are willing to look for new experiences abroad.

But life is not only work. During my free time I like to watch series, play video games, listen to music and
have a nice glass of wine during a nice meal. When i have some free time I love to cook.

Professional life

During University time I started doing some web pages in
LAMP, with some friends.
It started with some local projects and then we were able to get a contract to
start a small E-Commerce site.

But then University ended and we parted each for our own path. I started working
for PT Inovação, as a consultant of
Outsoft, in Aveiro were I got a lot of
experience developing and costumizing the OCS that was deployed in places like
Portugal, Timor, Morocco, Angola...

Always wanted to have an experience abroad, so I decided to move to Oporto's
Office of Wipro Technologies
and soon after I got shipped into Leeds. In this
job I had the oportunity to move to a different area and work really as a
consultant. During my stay at the company I worked with very important clients
like Morrisons PLC, Ahold US and Mercal. It was a rewarding experience in therms
of market knowledge and Enterprise organization.

But then love happened and it was in Madrid so I packed and moved to Madrid
and started working as a consultant of
Blue Telecom Consulting at
Ericsson Spain.
Working there I came back to Networking on the DPI product SASN. I was part
of the team that took SASN in a new platform called SSR.

Currently I am in Cincinnati, Ohio working for
Hubert
as a web developer, playing with Spring/Java, Javascript, Jenkins, Ansible and Zabbix.
